Ice cream truck

Some pics of one of the wrecks I built as a kid 15 years ago. I'll put some more up as I get a chance. Sorry about the nasty ass iPhone pics

The body on mine is made from the AMT 50 pickup kit. Cut the roof off and made the rear body out of a plastic Ferrero Rocher chocolates container. Just a clear plastic tub that had a good curve to it. Glued the guards… sorry the fenders… on and I think the speaker on the roof is a ferrule off a ballpoint pen
